Hall 175

The Campaign for the Future of The Hall

These three commitments represent the largest gifts to date and are the second, third, and fourth seven-figure gifts to Calvert Hall during Hall 175: The Campaign for Calvert Hall. The first $1,000,000 gift made to the campaign was done so anonymously. These gifts help Calvert Hall cross the $19 million mark in gifts and pledges toward our $28 million campaign goal.

“My four years at Calvert Hall truly shaped my life. Some of my best friendships to this day were made at

The Hall. The Christian Brothers and lay teachers challenged me academically, and as a result, I was well-prepared for Annapolis and for a successful career in the Navy as an attorney.” – Mike Curreri '69

The Michael Paul Curreri '69 Scholarship Endowment was established in 2021 by Renee and Mike Curreri '69 to provide scholarship support to one or more outstanding student scholars, with primary preference given to students who are the sons of retired or active members of the U.S. Armed Forces and who, without this support, would be unable to attend Calvert Hall.

“On behalf of my brothers and sisters, we are delighted to make this gift to recognize and honor both our parents, as well as the faculty members and coaches, who helped shape our lives. From an early age, our parents deeply believed in a rigorous education, and we are indebted to their sacrifices and vision. We are grateful and blessed for these life lessons from which we still benefit.” – Scott Creighton '74

In addition to creating the Jack and Corinne “Chummy” Creighton Family Scholarship in honor of their parents’ sacrifice and commitment to providing their children a Catholic education, the commitment will provide substantial funding to the Arthur “Reds” Hucht '35 Scholarship; establish the Creighton Family Aquatics Endowment to support the Cardinal swimming program and water polo program; create the R. Scott Creighton '74 Fund for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion; fund the establishment of two Endowed Fund for Teaching Chairs: The Mary Alice (Creighton) Lears Chair in Physical Education Excellence and the David M. Creighton '68 Chair in Mathematics Excellence.

“The guidance of the Christian Brothers who taught me was subtle, but profound. My wife, Jane, and I continue to be impressed by its commitment to academic excellence and the welfare of its students. The success I’ve enjoyed was in no small way predicated on a Lasallian education, and for that, I’m very grateful. Jane and I are pleased to be able to give something back to the school which, after all, made it all possible.” – Jim Derwin '60

The James Derwin '60 and Jane Bachner Legacy Fund will be designated to support the President’s Hardship Fund, Brother Daniel Henry, FSC Scholarship Endowment, and an unrestricted gift.
